"HOME"
This Spring! "A new and improved Home is reported to arrive on the PlayStation Network in Spring of this year, GamesIndustry.biz writes today, a taste of which is on hand at Monaco's Imagina 08 exhibition. What's changed? It sounds mostly cosmetic, as a new environment replaces the enclosed apartment, described by GI.biz as a "serene outside space, with plenty of room for people to interact, and tables with fully functional chess and draughts games included."
According to the report, user feedback changed a good portion of the virtual living space, with a streamlined theater and a wider variety of "apartments" being readied for launch. Sweet. Who else can't wait to virtually walk around and collect some virtual stuff?!"

This look promising.
Dancing amid the spires of a city called New Ataraxia, there is a woman who can cloud men’s minds, leap across buildings as if weightless, unerringly fire twin automatic pistols in the most insane conditions, and disappear in a crowded room. She fights against the political repression of an insane technocratic society, and she comes from a place that no-one in New Ataraxia has ever heard of. And she’s got one hour to save the city from itself.
A high-octane blend of The Shadow, Tomb Raider, retropunk science fiction and 21st century Weird Pulp Action, ANNA MERCURY is a headlong adventure serial about a beautiful and mysterious spy-adventurer who is not what she seems….

Rhapsody of Steel
John Sutherland's Rhapsody of Steel - At the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive, we digitized a beautiful read-along record storybook based on John Sutherland's industrial film, "Rhapsody of Steel." Made in 1959, this film features incredible space-age imagery by animation designers Eyvind Earle (Sleeping Beauty, "Pigs Is Pigs") and Maurice Noble ("What's Opera Doc?," "Duck Dodgers in the 24th 1/2 Century").

Happy Day!
That pug faced Federer was beaten by Serb Novak Djokovic. "Last night in straight sets (7-5, 6-3, 7-6 ) to upset the world #1 and head into the Australian Open final against yesterdays' upset winner Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. Like Tsonga, Djokovic did not deny the crowd a display of shirtless bravado."

Caramel
"Caramel, a sensual and romantic film concentrates on five women at a local beauty salon.
Nadine Labaki makes her directorial debut and also stars as a Christian beautician who's obsessed with her married lover’s wife. Joining her is a salon employee anguishing over her attraction to women (particularly one client with long black hair), a soon-to-be-Muslim-bride terrified her husband will discover she isn’t a virgin on her wedding night, a woman struggling to age gracefully, and an elderly lady longing for elusive love.
Labaki doesn’t exactly break new ground here, but she also doesn’t preach while touching upon some of the issues that both Christian and Muslim women face in this complicated and cosmopolitan little country. The performances are touching and natural, and the cinematography’s golden glow suits the movie’s title perfectly."

"Special" USB for MacBook Air
Which means it won't be usable with any other product but the MacBook Air. Whether or not this is part of Apple's money-printing program is beyond my ken, but anyone who's planning on adding $99 to their MacBook Air purchase with the intent of using the external Superdrive DVD burner with another system is out of luck.

I have an new imaginary boyfriend. As I was working on unpacking, I saw the end of this match I my 42" flatscreen in HD and Tsonga was looking real good in Hi-def.
"There's been a major upset at the Australian Open. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France has risen through the draw and overnight the #38-ranked player in the world put away #2 Rafael Nadal 6-2 6-3 6-2 in less than two hours to face either Roger Federer or Novak Djokovic in the final on Sunday. Now that's worth throwing your shirt into the stands for."

Big Foot on Mars
This image has been all over the news, but I have just caught up.
Is that a little man on Mars in this picture from NASA's Mars Spirit explorer? We didn't even bother to blog this image when we saw it the other day, but tons of British newspapers have seized on it. Sample headline: "Crikey! There's A Little Green Man On Mars!"

LAPCAT
In a hurry? Need to get from Sydney to Brussels in a dash? Not too far in the future you may be able to travel that entire distance in less than 4 hours - emissions free - thanks to an amazing hypersonic hydrogen jet project called LAPCAT. LAPCAT stands for Long-Term Advanced Propulsion Concepts and Technologie, and is funded by the European Space Agency. This type of hypersonic jet would put the Concorde to shame with it’s speed, and the best part is that it would not be powered by the typical fossil fuels, but instead by a much greener hydrogen alternative.
